Hazara are a Persian-speaking people who mainly live in central Afghanistan and western Pakistan. They are overwhelmingly Shiite Muslims and comprise the third largest ethnic group of Afghanistan, forming about 9% (according to other sources up to 18%) of the total population. More than 500,000 Hazaras live in neighbouring Pakistan (mostly in Quetta) and a similar number in Iran. Recently, the Hazara Shias in Quetta protested against the killing of 87 people of their community.
